VIEW MAPLEWOOD CAMERAS →Maplewood, Minnesota, is a vital residential and industrial anchor positioned at the strategic eastern heart of the Minneapolis and St. Paul metropolitan area. Global headquarters of the 3M Company and serving as the primary transit point for those moving between the core cities and the eastern suburbs, Maplewood handles an immense daily volume of commuters and freight. With its unique position at the convergence of three major limited-access highways and several high-volume state routes, managing the flow of 24/7 commercial and residential traffic is essential for maintaining the region's mobility.
TrafficVision aggregates feeds from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), providing a comprehensive view of the Minnesota camera network. Whether you're navigating the morning rush toward the Capitol or heading to a shift at the 3M campus, our live street cameras help you bypass the most notorious bottlenecks in real-time.
I-94 Corridor
The primary artery for Maplewood commuters. Monitor traffic through the high-volume Maplewood segments from the McKnight Road interchange west toward downtown St. Paul.

Maplewood's main northern commercial artery. Monitor local gridlock around the Maplewood Mall and the major intersections serving the regional shopping hubs.

A vital local and regional link serving the retail and residential heart of the city. Keep an eye on traffic flow through the major intersections at Beam Avenue and the I-694 ramps.

Strategic Mobility in the Twin Cities East
The traffic landscape in Maplewood is a coordinated effort between MnDOT and the Maplewood Department of Public Works. The region handles some of the highest daily volumes in the state; the I-94 corridor through Maplewood handles an average of over 150,000 vehicles daily, serving as a critical link for national freight and regional commuters.
While Maplewood residents enjoy a relatively efficient average commute of approximately 23.2 minutes, the complexity of the "Maplewood Split" and corporate surges can cause sudden delays of 20 minutes or more. Real-time monitoring is a vital daily tool for residents. Research from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) suggests that live traffic camera feeds can reduce secondary accident rates by up to 30%. By spotting a backup at the Century Avenue exit early, you can use our route builder to find a faster alternative through local B-roads or the METRO Gold Line BRT corridor.

OPEN INTERACTIVE MAP →Key Commute Patterns and Corporate Impact
Traffic in Maplewood is heavily influenced by the "outbound morning, inbound evening" pattern common to residential anchors, further complicated by the massive population surge during shift changes at the 3M headquarters. Peak morning hours (6:00 AM – 9:00 AM) see extreme volume heading west toward St. Paul and Minneapolis, while the evening rush (3:30 PM – 6:30 PM) brings that volume back toward the residential heart of the town.
The White Bear Avenue and I-694 interchange remains one of the most monitored bottlenecks in the region. Our grid view allows you to monitor these multiple freeway merges side-by-side, helping you decide if taking McKnight Road is a better option today. This is especially vital during Minnesota's frequent winter snowstorms, which can suddenly impact visibility and road traction on the high-speed freeway spans.
Pro Tip: 3M Campus Transit Strategy
The global headquarters of 3M employs approximately 12,000 individuals across 400 acres. Check our cameras at the Hudson Road and Conway Avenue entrances before you leave; during peak shift arrival windows, these surface approaches can become gridlocked even when the interstates are free-flowing.
